Abstract

The development of place-based curricula in schools in North-west England has been supported by knowledge exchange projects at the University of Cumbria. These enhance and augment student and teacher engagement and confidence in teaching and learning outdoors to parallel this curriculum shift. This chapter describes and evaluates student and teacher success in integrating outdoor learning into a mandatory curriculum including innovative approaches to environmental, experiential and outdoor learning. It examines the ways in which the university has embedded new pedagogical approaches, programmes and strategies to engender confidence and capability in students in outdoor learning that have wider applicability in higher education.
